NPS/IPS client overview
Print data originates with a document created by the user at a
client workstation using an application software package, or at a
mainframe or minicomputer. The application allows users to
create and format a document according to their exact
specifications.
The application software provides the capability to print the
document using a page description language (PDL). The
application produces print data in one of the supported page
description language formats, for example PostScript level 2.
NOTE: For information on Xerox drivers, refer to the following
web site: http://www.xerox.com/drivers.

DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
Document attributes
When submitting jobs to a DocuPrint or DocuColor 2060 NPS/
IPS, you need to know how the system handles jobs so that you
can be sure to get the expected output.
The NPS/IPS processes jobs based on document attributes. An
attribute is a piece of information about a job, such as printing
requirements. Examples of document attributes are number of
copies or type of paper.
Each job has an associated set of attributes, some of which are
required, while others are optional. If a required attribute is
missing for a given job, a system default setting is used.
Attribute values can be assigned by:
•
A job ticket from Xerox client software, set by an end user at a
workstation
•
A job submission protocol, such as lpr options, set by an end
user at a workstation
•
Virtual printers, set by the printer controller
•
DSC, set in the job by a driver from an end user workstation
•
System defaults, set at the printer controller as defined by an
administrator.
Conflicting values set by the different sources are resolved
through an order of precedence. The list above is from the
highest to the lowest level of precedence. For example, if the job
ticket and the default attributes conflict, the job ticket attributes
will take precedence.
NOTE: Attributes may be called different names, depending on
the source used to assign them. For example,” map color” is an
NPS/IPS attribute name, but you assign this attribute using the
“extraction color” command in the Xerox client software. In both
cases, it is the attribute that is used to specify the colored parts
of the document that convert to the available highlight color.
Users, operators, and administrators may view document
attributes at the printer controller or by using remote access. The
amount of information available about job attributes depends on
the access level.
1-2
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
Once an attribute is assigned to a job, it cannot be removed.
However, in some cases, its value may be changed. For
example, the operator can change the calue of the plex attribute
from simplex to duplex.
For detailed information on attributes, refer to the Guide to
Managing Print Jobs.
Virtual printers
A virtual printer is a “logical” printer that applies sets of attributes
to jobs submitted to it.
Each virtual printer has a different name, and one physical
printer can have numerous virtual printers set up on it.
Users can override virtual printer attributes by using the
appropriate job submission option.
NOTE: If the virtual printer has the attribute SkipJTPrescan set
to “true,” then all attributees set in a a job ticket are ignored.
For detailed information on virtual printers and their
management, refer to the Guide to Managing Print Jobs.
Submitting print jobs
You can send print data directly from the application to the
printer, or you can create a PDL data (pc-centric) file on the
workstation, then use a print job submission program to print.
The method you choose depends on your workstation
configuration and your job submission requirements.
Regardless of the job submission method, keep in mind the
following regarding the job size:
•
While the maximum number of sheets in a job is not limited, it
is strongly recommended that a large job be broken up into
smaller jobs.
•
The NPS/IPS has a file size limit of 1,999,999,000 bytes.
When attempting to submit a job larger than this limit, a
message is posted to /var/log/DocuPrint stating the job could
not be queued due to its size. Break up large jobs into smaller
jobs.

DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
Printing directly
from the
application
Printing directly from the application (or driver, also known as
transparent printing) is easier than using a print job submission
program. However, depending on the application, this method
may not support all available print options such as number of
copies, simplex or duplex printing, and stitching. (Transparent
printing is done using one of the Xerox printer drivers, or by
using third-party drivers with the Xerox PPD file for your printer.)
Also, this method is available through some, but not all, platform
and application software configurations.
Print drivers for all NPS/IPS printers are included in the Xerox
Production Print Services (XPPS) software. For information on
XPPS drivers, refer to the Guide to Job Submission for Windows
and Guide to Job Submission for Macintosh. These documents
rae part of the Xerox Prodcution Print Service series.
Using a print job
submission
program
Using a print job submission program requires a two-step
printing process. The user prints from the application to a PDL
file, then uses one of the following methods to submit the job and
specify print options:
•
The lpr command provides options for submitting print jobs.
The functionality of the lpr command is dependent on the
TCP/IP software installed on the workstation.
•
Xerox Client Software provides a print command for
submitting jobs and specifying print options. The functionality
of the print command is dependent on the TCP/IP software
installed on the workstation.
•
Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software for the
Macintosh provides a graphical user interface for submitting
jobs and specifying print options.
For information on XDS software for the Macintosh, refer to
the Guide to Job Submission for Macintosh. This guide is part
of the Xerox Production Print Services series.
•
Xerox Document Submission (XDS) software for ME,
Windows 2000, Macintosh operating system 8.6 or above,
and Windows 95 provides a graphical user interface for
submitting jobs and specifying print options.
For information on XDS software for Windows, refer to the
Guide to Job Submission for Windows. This document is part
of the Xerox Production Print Services series.

XDS Plus software for Windows and Solaris 2.6 and 2.8
provides a Java-based graphical user interface for submitting
jobs and specifying print options via the Internet.

•
Xerox DigiPath Quick Print software for Windows NT 4.0
provides a series of dialog boxes that you use to select a
document, set up a job ticket, and submit your print job.
In some cases, the workstation can be set up for more than one
method of job submission.
Communicating with the network
After the print data has been prepared for printing and combined
with print options data—either by the application software or by a
print job submission utility—the data is sent over the network.
DocuPrint supports TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and Novell NetWare
network communications protocols.

installed, its operation is transparent to the user.
** NPS/IPS running on a Sun Microsystems client is based on the standard Sun operating system (OS);
however, the Sun OS has been customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore, not all
standards Sun OS features are available.
Receiving job status feedback
Client workstations display fault messages and other
information, such as the status of feeder trays and output bins. If
properly configured, the workstations may be able to display job
status, as described in the following list.
•
1-6
To determine the status of jobs submitted using the lpr
command, you must issue an lpq command at the command
line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using
the lp command and status can be determined using the
lpstat command. Some application software packages may
provide a simplified means of obtaining job status, perhaps
using icons. Job status is also available by establishing a
telnet connection to the printer controller to access the user
interface from your workstation. Printer and additional status
information is also available.
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
DocuPrint and DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS client overview
The job status command (lpq) is available at client

Setting up workstations
This chapter describes how to prepare your DOS, Macintosh,
and UNIX workstations to work with the printer. It includes
procedures for installing and removing Xerox Client Software
(print command).
Before you complete the tasks in this chapter, do the following at
your workstation:
•
Verify that at least 850 KB of disk space is available on the
client workstation. The Xerox Client Software package
requires approximately 450 to 550 KB, and temporary files
and the directory structure require another 200 to 300 KB.
•
Verify the connections between the printer controller and the
client workstation.
•
Ensure that the networking communication package for your
client platform is properly installed and running.
At the printer controller, ensure that the following tasks have
been performed:
•
Set the default media for the printer.
•
Set the printer paper trays.
•
Start printing and queueing on the printer controller.

Setting up workstations
Setting up PC-DOS workstations
This section describes the steps for installing the Xerox
Document Submission Client Software, the appropriate PPD
(PostScript Printer Description) file, and the Decomposition
Service Tools on a networked PC-DOS workstation.
In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to print,
Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is specified
during installation or by using the Configure utility. Also, in order
to download the client software, FTP capability must be enabled
on the controller. This is specified during installation or via the
Configure utility. If security is a concern, FTP capability can be
disabled after the software is downloaded by using Configure.
For more information, see the chapter “Using utility commands”
in your Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.
Installing Xerox Client Software for DOS
You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the
ftp command to log on to the printer controller, retrieve an
installation command file, and execute it. This procedure
automatically downloads the software.
Xerox Client Software works only for the drive on which it is
installed. You must be running Wollongong Pathway Access
release 3.1, FTP PC/TCP, or Sun PC-NFS V5.1software.
NOTE: Version 3.0 of FTP’s PC/TCP is recommended because
of a change FTP made to the 4.0 version of their software. If you
are using version 4.0, you can copy the 3.0 version of the
FTP.EXE file to the PCTCP directory and use it for this
procedure.
NOTE: The Wollongong TCP/IP communication packages for
some versions of PC-DOS may not support 16-bit Ethernet
communication cards from 3Com and Western Digital
Corporation. It may also intermittently hang up if you use a batch
file to transmit a large number of print jobs back to back.

Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
Setting up workstations
To install Xerox Client Software, complete the following steps at
the client:
1. Ensure that the network software is installed and running.
2. If the host table file does not exist, create it.
3. Verify that the names and corresponding TCP/IP addresses
of the printer controller and the PC client itself are in the host
table file.
•
For Pathway Access clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it
resides in the \pathway directory or in the directory where
the Pathway Access software resides.
•
For FTP PC/TCP clients, this filename is “hosts.txt” and it
may reside in the \etc directory.
•
For PC-NFS clients, this filename is “hosts,” and it resides
in the \nfs directory.
NOTE: If the network configuration file does not define
the location of the host table absolutely to include the
drive specification, the user will be unable to print from
other drives.
4. Verify that the PC can communicate with the printer
controller, by entering one of the following:
•
ping <printer controller name>
•
ftp <printer controller name>
If the response is “unknown host,” go back to step 2.
5. Change the current directory to the \ directory.
6. Find the client directory and command file for your client
platform in the table below:
Client platform
Client directory

7. Using the appropriate client directory and command file,
enter the following to access the printer controller using the
ftp guest account.
>ftp <printer controller name>
Name: <printer controller name:username>:ftp
Password: <RETURN>
ftp> ls
ftp>cd <client directory>
ftp>get <command file>
ftp>quit
>
For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string
and <RETURN> at the “Password” prompt. Include the local
filename with the command file (for example, enter get
<command file> <local filename>).
8. Execute the batch file. Provide the name of the printer
controller to install from, as follows:
>(command file) <printer controller name>
9. Verify that line 1 of the \usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\cconf file
has the name of the printer controller. If it does not, edit line 1
to include the printer controller name.
10. Make sure that your path environment variable contains
directories for the Xerox client .exe files and for the
networking software \usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\bin.
11. Change the PATH statement so that the directory
\usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\bin containing Xerox Client
Software commands precedes other directories that may
include identical commands. If this is not done, the client user
must explicitly specify the Xerox Client directory whenever
typing “print,” “listq,” or “listjob.”
12. Set the default sender name for the client by adding the
following statement to the autoexec.bat file:
set UNAME = <sender name>
This statement adds the UNAME environment variable. If the
default sender name is not set, the client software uses “???”
in the sender name field.
13. Reboot the PC so that the changes in the autoexec.bat file
take effect.

Verifying your
installation
To verify that the software installation was successful:
1. Enter listq to display the status of available queues.
2. Go to the directory containing Golden Print Job masters
(\usr\xerox\NPS/IPS\client\gpj) or any directory that contains
a sample file.
3. Enter print -p <queue name> <sample file name>. The
system should respond with “Print request forwarded.”
4. Enter listjob to make sure your job is being printed.
NOTE: “Print” is a common command name for printing, and
you might accidentally execute a different print command. For
this reason, you may wish to verify that the installed Xerox
print command is in use. You can verify that the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS print command is being executed by typing print
<Enter> at the command line. The DocuPrint command
always gives a usage statement describing its syntax.
Installing the PPD file
You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file
for your specific printer model. Because different software
applications require the PPD file to reside in different locations,
first determine the appropriate directory for installing the PPD file
by referring to your application software documentation. Then
enter the following:
cd <DOS directory for PPD files>
ftp <DocuPrint printer controller>
Name: ftp
Password: <RETURN>
ftp> ls
ftp> cd PPD
ftp> get <PPDfile>
ftp> quit
In the example above, <PPDfile> is the file for your printer model.
The files are stored in the PPD directory and named
XDP####.PPD, where #### is your printer model number; for
example, XDP4890.PPD or XDP4635.PPD.
NOTE: For the DocuColor 2060 NPs/IPS, use the Xerox driver
for the DocuPrint 180 NPS/IPS, and use the 2060 PPD.
For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string
and <RETURN> at the “Password” prompt.

NOTE: If you also install Windows Decomposition tools ensure
that they are not installed to the same directory as the DOS
tools.
Refer to the Decomposition Service and Tools Guide for more
information on using Decomposition Service.
Removing DOS client software
This section describes the procedure for removing the print

Installing Xerox Client Software for UNIX
You install Xerox Client Software on client workstations using the
ftp command to log on to the printer controller, retrieve an
installation command file, and execute it. This procedure
automatically downloads the software.
NOTE: In order for jobs submitted by Xerox Client software to
print, Xerox job ticket processing must be enabled. This is
specified during NPS/IPS installation or by using the Configure
utility.
Also, in order to download the client software, FTP capability
must be enabled on the controller. This is specified during NPS/
IPS installation or via the Configure utility. If security is a
concern, FTP capability can be disabled after the software is
downloaded by using Configure. For more information, see the
chapter “Using utility commands” in your Guide to Configuring
and Managing the System.
At the client workstation, log on to the client as root and perform
the following steps:
1. Verify that the printer controller name and TCP/IP address
are located in the /etc/hosts file.
2. If an entry containing the printer controller name and TCP/IP
address does not exist, add it unless you are using an NIS or
DNS name service.
3. To verify that the client workstation can communicate with the
printer controller, enter one of the following utility commands
at the > prompt:
•
ping <printer controller name>
•
ftp <printer controller name>
If the response to these commands is “unknown host,” go
back to step 1.
4. Change directories to the user home directory.
NOTE: You can use any directory to execute the command
file, but using the home directory is preferred.

6. Using the appropriate client directory and command file,
enter the following to access the printer controller using the
ftp guest account.
# ftp <printer controller name>
Name: <printer controller name:username>:ftp
Password: <RETURN>
ftp> ls
ftp> bin
ftp> cd <client directory>
ftp> get <command file>
ftp> quit
#
7. Change the mode and run the command file to perform the
installation. Enter the name of the printer controller to install
from, as follows:
#chmod +x <command file>
#<command file> <printer controller name>
8. Verify that line 1 of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/cconf file
has the name of the printer controller. If it does not, edit line 1
to include the printer controller name (default).
9. In order to use the client commands (print, listq, and listjob)
verify that your path environment contains the directory /usr/
xerox/NPS/IPS/client/bin for the client commands. This
directory should precede all other directories in the path. The
installation script will also copy these three commands to /
usr/bin. In order to use the commands:
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
2-11
Setting up workstations
•
csh users should enter source .cshrc or log off and log
on, after modifying the “Set path” command in their .cshrc
file.
•
Bourne shell users should modify and export the PATH
variable.
Verifying your installation
To verify that the software installation was successful:
1. Enter listq to display the status of available queues.
2. Go to the directory containing Golden Print Job masters (/usr/
xerox/NPS/IPS/client/gpj) or any directory that contains a
sample file.
3. Enter print -p <queue name> <sample file name>.
The system should respond with “Print request forwarded.”
4. Enter listjob to make sure the printer is printing your job.
NOTE: “Print” is a common command name for printing, and
you might accidentally execute a different print command. For
this reason, you may wish to verify that the installed Xerox
print command is in use. You can verify that the DocuPrint
NPS/IPS print command is being executed by typing print
<Enter> at the command line. The DocuPrint command
always gives a usage statement describing its syntax.
Installing Xerox Client Software man pages
Xerox preinstalls the Client Software man pages in the /usr/
xerox/NPS/IPS/client/man directory. However you may want to
access these man pages from the /usr/man directory, with the
UNIX man pages. Consider the following options:
•
Install them under /usr/share on the public server.
•
C shell users:
Create a separate man page directory and modify your
MANPATH environment variable to point to them. If you do so,
however, all users who want to use these man pages must
modify their .cshrc files as follows:
1. Create the following directories:
– /usr/xerox/man
– /usr/xerox/man/man1
2-12
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
Setting up workstations
2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/man
directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1.
3. Edit the .cshrc file in the home directory to include the
following line:
setenv MANPATH /usr/xerox/man:/usr/man
4. Reinitialize the shell environment by entering source
.cshrc
•
Korn shell users:
1. Create the directories /usr/xerox/man and /usr/xerox/man/
man1.
2. Copy the contents of the /usr/xerox/NPS/IPS/client/man
directory into /usr/xerox/man/man1.
3. Add the following lines to the .profile file in the home
directory to allow access to the man pages:
MANPATH = /usr/xerox/man:/usr/man
export MANPATH
•
On a DEC ULTRIX client workstation, do one of the following:
– Copy print.1, listjob.1, and listq.1 to the /usr/man/man1
directory. Replace the ULTRIX print.1 file that already
exists in this directory.
– If you do not want to replace the ULTRIX print.1 file, install
the Xerox print.1 file in the /usr/man/manl or /usr/man/
mann directory. Then rename the file print.l or print.n
respectively. To access the man pages, enter man local
print or man new print.
– Copy the man pages to the /usr/xerox/man/man1
directory. To access the man pages for a specific
command, include the directory in your entry. For
example, to access the man pages for the listjob
command, enter man -p /usr/xerox/man/man1/listjob.

Installing the PPD file for UNIX
You need to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file
for your specific printer model. Because different software
applications require the PPD file to reside in different locations,
first determine the appropriate directory for installing the PPD file
by referring to your application software documentation. Then
enter the following:
cd <UNIX directory for PPD files>
ftp <DocuPrint printer controller>
Name: ftp
Password: <RETURN>
ftp> ls
ftp> bin
ftp> cd PPD <PPD file directory on controller>
ftp> get <PPDfile>
ftp> quit
In the example above, <PPDfile> is the file for your printer model.
The files are stored in the PPD directory and named
XDP####.PPD, where #### is your printer model number; for
example XDP4890.PPD or XDP4635.PPD.
NOTE: For the DocuColor 2060 NPs/IPS, use the Xerox driver
for the DocuPrint 180 NPS/IPS, and use the 2060 PPD.
For FTP PC/TCP client installation, enter any character string
and <RETURN> at the “Password” prompt.
Installing the Decomposition Service UNIX Tools
Installation of the Decomposition Tools on a Sun workstation is
identical for the Solaris and SunOS operating environments.
Installation on an Apollo workstation may be done similarly.
The UNIX and Solaris versions are compressed and tared. The
commands to install the tools require Superuser privilege to
create a directory. Subsequent steps require appropriate access
rights, depending on the directory permissions.
NOTE: Some older daemons may need to be killed before
attempting to install the Decomposition Service Tools.

Enabling lpr print utilities for UNIX workstations
The following section provides information specific to Sun OS 4.0
and 4.1x, and Solaris environments.
SunOS 4.0 and 4.1x
To enable lpr print utilities, you need to edit the /etc/printcap file.
Each entry in a printcap file describes a printer; each entry is a
line consisting of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The
first entry for each printer gives the names that are known for the
printer, separated by vertical bars (|). You can continue entries
onto multiple lines by making a backslash (\) the last character of
a line, and you can include empty fields for readability.
The parameters required to enable lpr utilities on UNIX systems
that support lpr to submit jobs to DocuPrint are as follows:
•
rp—virtual printer name. By default, when a printing system
is installed, a single virtual printer is created with the name of
the printer.
•
rm—machine name for the printer controller (from the /etc/
hosts file, NIS, or domain name service).
•
sd—spool directory. Choose a spool directory with sufficient
free space to accommodate the largest document you want
to print.
•
mx—maximum file size. Enter 0 (zero) for unlimited file size
to avoid truncating files being sent to the printer.
•
lp—device name. Use an empty string (lp=:).
NOTE: To define multiple DocuPrint or DocuColor NPS/IPS
printers on a network, “rm” must have an “sd” assigned for
each printer. Otherwise, the status commands will report all
jobs sent to one printer only.
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
2-17
Setting up workstations
The following example shows printcap entries for a printer
named “Perfector.” The printer controller is registered as
“perfector.” An additional virtual printer, “Perfector-duplex,” is
defined for duplex printing.
Perfector|docuprint in 2301:\
:rp=perfector:rm=perfector:\
:sd=/var/spool/perfector:mx#0:lp=:
Perfector-duplex|docuprint in 2301duplex:\
:rp=perfector-duplex:rm=perfector:\
:sd=/var/spool/perfector:mx#0:lp=
Solaris
The following instructions are specific to the operation of Solaris
lp for submission to the printer. Submission using lp on the
DocuPrint controller is NOT supported.
NOTE: The printer controller Sun operating system is based on
the standard Sun operating system; however, it has been
customized for use with the Xerox printer controller. Therefore,
not all standard Sun operating system features are available.
While the instructions for editing the /etc/printcap file are generic
for SunOS 4.x UNIX systems using lpr, the systems that use lp
operate differently on each UNIX platform. Solaris administrators
should consult their man pages or the Solaris Answerbook for
more information on the commands used below. Solaris
Admintool is NOT recommended, because the “remote system
type” option is not supported.
At the client, login as root (except lpstat).
•
To start the print service:
/etc/init.d/lp start
•
To stop the print service:
/etc/init.d/lp stop
•
To identify the DocuPrint and its type:
lpsystem -t bsd -T 1 -R 1 -y “description of printer” NPS/
IPS_hostname
where:
– -t bsd defines the DocuPrint system as a berkeley spooler
– -T 1 defines the timeout parameter
– -R 1 defines the retry parameter
– -y ascii field for “description of printer” must be in quotes
2-18
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
Setting up workstations
•
To identify the virtual printer on the DocuPrint to use:
lpadmin -p que_name -s NPS/
IPS_name\!virtual_printer_name -I any
where:
– -p que_name defines the printer name on the client
– que_name can be the same name as the
virtual_printer_name
– -I defines the content type
•
To allow the client to send print requests to the DocuPrint:
accept que_name
enable que_name
•
To submit a job:
lp -d que_name filename
•
To list the status of the printer:
lpstat -p que_name
•
To list the status of all printers:
lpstat -t
•
To remove the DocuPrint NPS/IPS printer:
disable que_name
reject que_name
lpadmin -x que_name
lpsystem -r NPS/IPS_hostname
TCP/IP socket printing
You can set up your system to support TCP/IP socket printing.
Once the printer controller is configured to support socket
printing, you can set up your workstation. The administrator can
set up three separate ports on the printer controller (for example,
9100, 9101, and 9102). Each port can be configured to submit
jobs to the default printer, or to a specific virtual printer.
For more information on how to configure your printer to support
TCP/IP socket printing, refer to the Guide to Configuring and
Managing the System, “Using utility commands” chapter.
You can use any of the following methods for print submissions
to socket printing:
•

Color calibration for the DocuColor 2060 NPS/IPS
Color calibration is essential to insuring good color quality. The
purpose of calibration is to measure how the DocuColor 2060
NPS/IPS is printing the requested colors and to then make any
corrections that are required.
The operator calibrates the printer when color output begins to
drift. One calibration procedure uses a BuildProfile option to
build an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile and a Color
Rendering Dictionary (CRD) file.
Following a calibration at the printer, which uses the BuildProfile
option, the system constructs an ICC profile that describes the
response of the printer using the current calibration. For
PostScript documents, the system also produces a PostScript
CRD file. The CRD file on the printer controller is used if your
PostScript file does not have one included.
ICC profile
In order to allow consistency between your workstation and the
printer, you can transfer the ICC profile to your workstation using
an ftp utility. Refer to your workstation documentation or
administrator for information on using ftp.
The ICC profiles are located in the controller directory /var/db/
colortables.
The profile filename displays as: ICC-########-#, where the
first eight digits represent the date YYYYMMDD; the remaining
digit is an index. For example: ICC-20010823-2.
There may be more than one ICC profile. For example, an
operator may create different profiles for different paper stocks.
In case of multiple ICC profiles, ask your operator or
administrator about the one to use for your document.
Refer to your application document for information on using the
ICC profile.
For more information on color calibration for the printer, refer to
the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System, “Setting
system defaults” chapter, “Setting color calibrations” section.

Printing using Xerox utilities and lpr utilities (DOS and UNIX)
print command
Use the print command to send a document to a specific print
queue and to specify printing options you want to apply to your
document.
NOTE: Users of korn shell on UNIX must alias the Xerox print
command, since ksh has a built-in print command.
To submit a print job, enter the print command and its options on
the command line using the following syntax:
Syntax
print -printername <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
OR
print -p <vpname> [<options>] <filenames>
NOTE: The syntax above only works when printing to the default
NPS/IPS printer controller. Users with more than one NPS/IPS
printer controller must specify the hostname for the controller
using the “-ser” or “-server” option.
When using the “-ser” or “-server” option, the virtual printer must
exist on the alternate server.
Required
arguments
The following arguments are required for the print command:
•
-printername <vpname> OR -p <vpname>
The virtual printer that you want to use. To determine which
virtual printers are available, use the listq command. Refer to
“Listq” in this chapter for more information.
•
<filenames>
The name of the file that you want to print, including any
filename extension.
NOTE: In UNIX, when you specify the name of the file, make
sure that it does not include the following characters: & ! ” ‘ ’ $ - ;
? These characters in filenames may conflict with other UNIX
commands and expressions.
If you specify more than one file, the banner page displays the
name of the first file. If you use the listjob command, the name
of the first file appears as the job name.

Options
In addition to the required arguments, you can use any of the
following options to specify print characteristics. You may enter
more than one option at a time.
When entering options, you only need to enter as many
characters as is necessary to differentiate one option from
others. The characters underlined in the option name make the
options unique.
When entering the arbitrary text after the print options, shown in
angle brackets below, make sure the text string does not contain
any spaces. If you enter text that contains spaces, enclose the
text with double quotation marks.
•
-@ <filename>
An “argsFile,” which is a text file containing command line
options. You may specify multiple options on one or more
lines of the file, with the same effect as if they had been
entered in the command line. You may use this option in
conjunction with other options on the command line.
When using the print -@ option, the specified argsFile cannot
contain the -@ option. However, it can contain the
-listFile option.
•
-account <text>
Specifies the print account number (up to 12 characters) on
the banner page.
•
-autoTabShift <true>
Shifts the image onto the area of the tab outside of the
standard paper boundary. This option is for PostScript
emitters that are unable to switch paper sizes from the
standard paper size used.

If you are using FTP PC-TCP/IP software, these commands
are available. Refer to your software documentation for a
description of all the options available.
•
If you are using the Wollongong Pathway Access network
communication package, you can use the lpr command to
print jobs, but the -C options are not available. Refer to the
documentation you received with your Wollongong software
for complete information.
•
If you are using Sun PC-NFS, you may be able to submit jobs
to your printer, as long as your system administrator
configured the printer to do so. For complete information on
setting up the print capability, refer to your PC-NFS software
documentation.

lpr command
Use the lpr command to send a document to a specific printer or
to specify print options for the job you are submitting. To do so,
enter the lpr command and its options on the command line
using the following syntax:
Syntax (DOS)
lpr -S <printer controller name> -P <printer> <options>
<filenames>
Syntax (UNIX)
lpr -P <printer> <options> <filenames>
Required
arguments
The following arguments are required for the lpr command:
•
-S <printer controller name>
Sends the specified files to the printer controller that you
specify in the <printer controller name> option (DOS only).
•
-P <printer>
The virtual printer that you want to use. If your UNIX
environment is set up to specify your printer as the default
printer, you may not need to enter -P.
•
<filenames>
The names of the files that you want to print including any
filename extension.
NOTE:
•
For DOS: If you specify a wildcard (*) as the filename on a
PC running DOS and Pathway Access 2.1/Wollongong WIN
TCP/IP version 5.1 to submit print jobs, the correct sender
name is not displayed with all jobs. When you enter the list
document command at the printer controller, the sender
name is correct for the first job. All subsequent jobs list the IP
address of the client as the sender name.
•
For DOS: If you are running FTP TCP/IP software and
submitting a PCL job, add an -f to the lpr command line. For
example, lpr -S <printer controller name> <options> -f
<filenames>. An -f interprets the first character of each line
as a standard Fortran carriage control character.
•
For UNIX: If you submit two files to the printer and the first
file is nonexistent, the second file prints but the filename is
replaced by the name of the first file.

Printing using Xerox utilities and lpr utilities (DOS and UNIX)
Optional
arguments
In addition to the required arguments, you can use the options
listed below. You may enter multiple options separated by
commas within the parentheses. Use the following syntax:
lpr -P <printer> -C”(<options> )” <filenames>
You must enter uppercase -C and -J, but the other options are
not case sensitive. Use the lpr command man page for more
information.
If the text that you enter after the print options (shown in angle
brackets below) contains spaces, enclose the text with double
quotation marks.
NOTE: The quotation marks prevent the parentheses and any
spaces from passing to UNIX as separate entities. UNIX
interprets spaces as the end of a command line and acts on
them if they are not enclosed in quotation marks.
NOTE: To use any of the -C options described below, you must
enclose the entire -C option in double quotation marks with
everything except the recipient’s name in parentheses. For
example, if you enter lpr -P<printer controller name> -C “Jones
(drilled)”, the document is printed on drilled paper with the user
id “Jones”. If you use an lpr -C option with quotes but not
parentheses, whatever is specified in quotes replaces the
recipient name. For example, if you enter lpr -P<printer controller
name> -C “drilled” <filename> with the user id “Jones”, the
recipient name is“drilled” instead of “Jones.”
The -C options are not available if you are using Wollongong
Pathway Access or Sun PC-NFS.
•
-# <number of copies>
The number of copies you want to print of each file you
specify.
•
-C“(1ton)”
Asserts that the document is in ascending order, regardless
of the number specified for the first or last page. This is the
default page ordering.
•
-C“(acct=<account number or text string>)”
Specifies the accounting string for the Dump Accounting
command.
•
-C“(ascii)”
Specifies ASCII for the job.

-C“(bf=<background form>)”
Specifies the name of saved G4 form(s) created using
decomposition services.
•
-C“(cf=<n>)”
For a single multi-page Background Form associated with a
document, allows you to specify how to cycle through pages
when you run out of background images before the end of a
document.
The Background Form that will be cycled can be specified in
the same command line: -C“(bf=<formname>,cf=<n>)”.
•
-C“(collated)”
Specifies that copies of the job are printed collated. This is
the default behavior.
•
-C“(copies=n)”
Specifies the number of copies of each file you want to print.
•
-C“(disposition=<savemaskG4 | savemaskBC | saveformG4 |
saveformBC>)”
Sets a virtual printer for decomposition services.
•
-C“(drilled)”
Sets the paper type to “drilled.” To use this option, the paper
type at the printer controller must be set to “drilled” using the
Set Tray command.
•
-C”(eh)”
Sets the ElideHeader attribute to TRUE.
NOTE: This option acts the same as the -h lpr switch.
However, for some implementations the -C flag interferes with
the -h flag, therefore a -C option is needed.
•
-C”(flip)”
Specifies that sheets are to be turned (flipped) over by the
printer before delivering the sheets to the stacker.
•

-C“(halftone=<halftone>)”
Specifies the density of the halftone screen. Accepted values
are “defaultHalftone,” “coarse,” “medium,” “fine,” or
“extrafine.” The value “defaultHalftone” is equivalent to the
absence of the halftone attribute.
NOTE: Screen frequencies for the halftone attribute and the
default value vary depending on whether the job is black and
white or color, and on the resolution (300 or 600 dpi).
•
-C“(hc=<color>)” (for models 4850/4890/92C only)
Specifies the highlight color. Valid options are “red,” “green,”
“blue,” “cyan,” “magenta,” “cardinal,” “royalblue,” “ruby,”
“violet,” or “black.” (Specifying black allows printing in gray
scale.)
If you want to change the highlight color used to print your
document, set the hc option to the color you want and set the
hcm option to “operator.”
If you set the hc option to a color other than the color loaded
at the printer and leave the default setting for hcm (“ignore”),
the hc option has no effect and the document prints using the
available dry ink.
See “Color mismatch” for more information on how the hcm,
hc, and mc options work together.

•
-C“(hcm=<action>)”
Specifies the action to take when there is a mismatch
between the highlight color you specify and the dry ink color
loaded in the printer. The default for the hcm option is
“ignore.” The optional actions are as follows:
– “abort”
Requests that your job abort if the highlight color you
specify is not loaded at the printer.
– “ignore”
Requests that the available dry ink color be used to print
your job, regardless of whether you specify that color.
– “operator”
Suspends the job in an “ineligible” state while the operator
loads the color dry ink you specify.
If you specify “operator,” the job prints automatically after
the operator loads the correct dry ink; however, the job
does not print until this task is completed. The job shows
in the list of documents at the printer controller, with
“Ineligible” listed as the job status.
•
-C(hcr=<option>) (for models 4850/4890/92C only)
Specifies mapping a three-dimensional color application
(such as RGB) to the two-dimensional color application
provided with highlight color printing.
Since some information is lost in mapping, the color
rendering options allow you to determine what qualities are
the most important to preserve:
– pictorial
Maintains the pictorial quality as follows:
Colors with a hue matching the map color are not
changed.
Colors with a hue close to the map color are rendered
with color, but with a saturation level that decreases as
the hue shifts away from the map color.
Colors with a hue complementary to the map color are
produced in shades of gray.
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
3-23
Printing using Xerox utilities and lpr utilities (DOS and UNIX)
– presentation
Distinguishes between different colors. This attribute is a
good choice for charts and diagrams, because they
typically use distinctly different colors. Colors that have a
hue that matches the map color are not changed.
(Changing these colors would cause discontinuities that
might produce undesirable results in pictorial material.)
– colorToHighlight
Discards the hue information and preserves the saturation
and value of the color application. Fully-saturated input
colors turn into a solid highlight color regardless of the
map color that is in effect. This option is useful for
documents that use highlight color only for emphasis.
– colorTables
Uses preset color tables to perform the mapping and is
provided for compatibility reasons. This attribute applies
only to red, blue, and green.
– automatic
Chooses a mapping method on an object-by-object basis;
for example, it applies the pictorial mapping for pictures
and the presentation mapping for other objects (filled
areas, strokes, and text).
•
-C“(hold)”
Prevents immediate printing, until the job is released at the
UI.
•
-C“(mc=<color>)” (for models 4850/4890/92C only)
Specifies the parts of the document that convert to the
available highlight color. Acceptable values are “red,” “green,”
“blue,” “brown,” “yellow,” “cyan,” and “magenta,” “cardinal,”
“royalblue,” “ruby,” and “violet.”
For example, if you specify the map color as red, all the red
parts of your document (including portions of composite
colors such as purple, depending on the rendering algorithm)
are printed in the available highlight color. The other colored
parts of the document are printed in shades of gray.
Use this option only if you want the mc and hc values to differ.
By default, the map color is assumed to be the same as the
highlight color.

•
-C“(media=<mediaDef>)”
Allows you to define the following options in order:
– <Paper size>:<paper type>:<paper color>:<weight>
Paper size for models 4850/4890/92C and 2060 =
<“USLetter” | “USLegal” | “A4” | “nxn”>
Acceptable custom paper sizes (nxn specified in
millimeters) range from 8 by 10 inches / 203 by 254
mm to 8.5 by 14 inches / 216 by 356 mm.
Paper size for 96/4635/180 NPS/IPS =<“USLetter” |
“USLegal” | “USLedger” | “Tabloid” | “A3” | “A4” | “nxn”>
Acceptable custom paper sizes (nxn, specified in
millimeters) range from 7 by 10 inches / 178 by 254
mm to 14.33 by 17 inches 364 by 432 mm.
– Paper type = <transparency | drilled | arbitrary text string
excluding colon and comma>
– Paper color = <arbitrary text string excluding colon and
comma>
– Weight = gsm (grams per square meter).
You may omit a value for any of these options by entering a
colon (:) to separate the fields but leaving the field value
empty. You may also specify multiple media for your
document. The first value is the default used if no media
selection is specified for the document.
If you indicate the paper color or weight you want but the
paper tray setting on the printer controller omits these values,
the document is printed from the tray regardless of what you
specified. For example, if you define USLetter::green, but the
tray setting on the printer controller is USLetter::white, the
document is printed from the tray (regardless of the paper
color loaded) even though you specified green as the paper
color.
•
-C“(<nostitch | nostaple>)” (for models 4050/4090/4850/4890/
92C only)
Specifies that the document is not stapled after it is printed.

Submitting print jobs using
Macintosh drivers
You can send documents to your DocuPrint NPS/IPS printer
from your Macintosh in two ways:
•
From your Macintosh drivers
DocuPrint allows you to transparently send ASCII files and
page description layout (PDL) files written in PostScript level
2 from your Macintosh to the printer. This capability is
provided by AppleTalk, which enables you to print directly to
network printers.
•
From Xerox Document Submission (XDS) client software
XDS client software is intended for users of Apple Macintosh
computers running System 8.6 or greater. Your Macintosh
must be connected to the Ethernet network communication
utility using AppleTalk through EtherTalk Phase 2.
This chapter explains how to print from your Macintosh drivers.
For information on printing through the XDS software, refer to the
Guide to Job Submission for Macintosh. This guide is part of the
Xerox Production Print Services series.
For information on installation, refer to the “Setting up
workstations” chapter in this document.
To print a document from a Macintosh, you must first create or
set up a LaserWriter printer or an AdobePS printer, then you can
submit the job. You can also monitor or control printing from your
Macintosh. The following sections outline these procedures.
Selecting a driver
You may select the following drivers:
•
LaserWriter driver, version 7.x
•
LaserWriter driver, version 8.x
•
AdobePS driver, version 8.5.1.

or virtual printer queue.
1. From the Apple menu, click [Chooser].
2. Click the LaserWriter icon from the printer icons in the upper
left box of the Chooser dialog box.
3. If your network is configured to include AppleTalk print zones,
click the zone in which your DocuPrint printer is located.
NOTE: Depending on the operating system version you are
using, you may or may not see the AppleTalk zones listed on
the Chooser dialog. If the zones are not listed, skip this step.
4. Click the name of the DocuPrint printer or virtual printer you
want to use.
5. Because you use AppleTalk to print to the DocuPrint printer,
make sure the AppleTalk option is set to [Active].
6. If you want to perform operations during printing, set the
Background Printing option to [On].
NOTE: Once background printing is on, it remains in effect
whenever you print until it is turned off. You may notice that
some operations are slower with Background Printing set to
[On].
7. Close the Chooser dialog box by clicking the box in the upper
left corner of the menu window.
8. If you changed your destination printer, click [OK] when you
see the following message:
“You have changed your current printer. Please choose “Page

•
Documents waiting to print
•

•

When you begin printing, the PrintMonitor becomes active and
its icon blinks, alternating with the Applications icon. To monitor
print jobs, open the print monitor by double-clicking the
PrintMonitor, or by clicking the PrintMonitor option from the
Applications icon pull-down menu.
Highlight color printing
NOTE: This section applies to models 4850/4890/92C only.
The system allows you to print text and graphics using black and
color dry ink.The highlight color print process combines pixels of
black, white, and the highlight primary color, resulting in an
image that resembles a halftone. Because the process requires
only one pass, so it is faster than print processes that mix three
or more colors. This process produces high-quality images
without distorting line thicknesses.
DocuPrint NPS/IPS software provides conversion of full-color
documents to highlight color. When you send a full-color
document to the DocuPrint NPS/IPS, the printer “reads” any
pigments corresponding to the highlight color and prints them in
shades of that color. The other colors print in shades of gray.
Guide to Submitting Jobs from the Client
4-39
Submitting print jobs using Macintosh drivers
Image quality considerations
Before submitting documents to the DocuPrint NPS/IPS, review
the following quality considerations:
Graphic borders
Graphic objects that contain borders with a repeating line pattern
(for example, in FrameMaker, a pen pattern) may print in either of
the following ways:
•
Missing lines or additional lines at the top or bottom of the
frame.
•
Using several different patterns in the same area.
You can correct missing or additional lines by stretching the
frame slightly at the location of the missing or additional lines
before converting the document into a PostScript file.
The printer driver uses a device-dependent operation to
generate the image of a border using a repeating line pattern
(pen pattern) within the graphic object. The device-dependent
operation can lead to inconsistencies in output from various
printers.
Such image quality problems are especially noticeable when you
are using FrameMaker and combining drawing tools (rectangle,
round rectangle, oval, or text frames) with any of the non-solid
pen patterns from the Tools palette. If these graphic objects are
copied through a screen capture to other applications, image
quality problems may appear in the output from these
applications as well.
Edge deletion
4-40
If you are using QuarkXPress software with a color driver (such
as the QMS Colorscript or TekPhaser series), there is a zone of
1-1/4 inch at the top and 1/2 inch at the bottom of the page that
does not print as a result of the driver limitation.

Submitting print jobs using
Windows NT 4.0 drivers
This chapter explains how to install the PostScript printer drivers,
and procedures for accessing the job ticket and submitting print
jobs using the NT 4.0 drivers that were shipped with NPS/IPS.
NOTE: Screen captures in this chapter are representative of
what you are likely to see on your system. Variations may occur,
depending on the software version and on the specific product
used (for example, 4850 NPS/IPS).
Installing and configuring the system
You can install the PostScript level 2 printer driver (transparent
client) on your Windows NT 4.0 system.
The PostScript driver for your Windows NT 4.0 system is
delivered with the NPS/IPS ship kit. If, however, you need to
obtain a driver, you have the following options:
•
Contact your local Xerox representative, who can source the
driver for you.
•
Download the driver through the following web site:
http://www.xerox.com/drivers
NOTE: NT 4.0 PostScript level 2 driver requires NPS/IPS
version 1.5 or later.
NOTE: If you have any previously installed printer icons for the
NT 4.0 transparent client, delete these icons and reboot your
system before starting a new installation.
To install the printer driver from the DocuPrint Network Server
software disks, follow these steps:

Use Printer Default
This option overrides all job settings and uses the printer
default settings.
•
Hold Job
This option retains a job in print queue until the highlight color
at the printer matches the color specified in the job.
•
Cancel Job
This option deletes the job from the print queue if highlight
color at the printer does NOT match the color specified for
the job.

Selecting the rendering algorithm
You can use Mapping Mode to specify which qualities are the
most important to preserve, since some information is lost in
mapping from a three-dimensional color application (such as
RGB) to a two-dimensional color application provided with
highlight color printing.
The following mapping mode options are available:
•
Use Printer Default
This option overrides job settings and uses printer default
settings.
•
Monochrome
This option specifies black and white printing only.
•
Pictorial
This option is for use with photographic images. It uses
luminance information to map full color to highlight colors.
The color portions of an image that are the same color as the
specified extraction color are printed in a shade of the
highlight color.
•
Presentation
This option is for use with presentation graphics. It uses hue
information to map full color to highlight colors. Any color
element in the graphic is printed in a shade of highlight color.
Non-color elements (black, white and gray) are printed in
black, white and shades of gray. This option distinguishes
between different colors and is a good choice for charts and
diagrams because they typically use distinctly different
colors.
•
Automatic
This option chooses a mapping method on an object-byobject basis. For example, this option applies the pictorial
mapping for pictures and the presentation mapping for other
objects (filled areas, strokes, and text).
•
ColorToHighlight
This option discards the hue information and preserves the
saturation and value of the color application.
•
Color Tables
This option uses preset color tables to perform the mapping.
It is provided for compatibility and has no effect with cyan.
To select a rendering algorithm:
1. From the Highlight Color Setup dialog box, select the

purpose of the printer.
If you are using TCP/IP, you must locate the following information
before you begin this procedure:
•
The File Server name: The name you specify is the same as
the host name of the DocuPrint server. The hosts file on your
PC provides the mapping between the IP address and the
host name.
•
The Print Queue: The name of the virtual printer on the
DocuPrint server. To avoid confusion, use the same name for
the virtual printer and the printer.

Printing using the Internet Printing
Protocol
Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is an application level protocol
that can be used for distributed printing using Internet tools and
technologies. The protocol defines interactions between a client
and a server, which allows your printer to print documents
submitted through the Internet.
Windows 2000 supports IPP version 1.1. With this support,
Windows 2000 users can connect NPS/IPS printers to the
Internet and send documents directly from a Web browser to be
printed.
Refer to your Windows 2000 documentation for printing via IPP.

•
Web-based user interface
Using telnet
You can access the printer controller remotely from any client
computer that supports the telnet protocol. To establish a telnet
connection, refer to your workstation documentation.
Once established a telnet connection, you can use most user
interface commands that do not require physical interaction with
the system such as loading media.
To log off the remote connection, enter Quit Connection or q.
Using the Web-based user interface
You can use a Web-based user interface to display information
about the printer and your jobs. The Web-based interface is
accessible through a Web browser on any client computer that
